Summary
After taking some time off to figure out my direction after graduating from college I decided on pursuing my interests of teaching and coaching. Mostly through volunteer work, I have gained and developed various skills that have helped me as a paraprofessional in a public school system. After only a year in the system I have grown a deep fondness in working with children who need behavior support and am working to become a registered behavior technician in the near future.
